STEWART GOLD RUSH.
SURVEYOR'S REPORT. [PKESB ASSOCIATION.] iONDON, August 18. Lord Strathcona (Canadian High Commissioner) publishes Surveyor A. McConnell's official report regarding the Stewart gold discovery. The prospectors' assays run from three to eight dollars of gold per ton. The vein mattar is abundant, but it is doubtful if it can be extricated with profit. The ore, however, is sufficiently promising to justify some exploration. Much of the mountain is only prospeotable by balloon transportation. The difficulties are surmountable if the deposits prove valuable. The find does not justify the wild rush to a rugged alpine country, whioh is dangerous to inexperienced ■ men,.
